Peter Davison edited this collection and the twenty volumes of Orwell’s Complete Works. Presented here is a major literary event of the long-awaited publication of George Orwell's diaries, chronicling the events that inspired his greatest works. This groundbreaking volume at last introduces the interior life of George Orwell, the writer who defined twentieth-century political thought. Written as individual books throughout his career, the eleven surviving diaries collected here record Orwell’s youthful travels among miners and itinerant laborers, the fearsome rise of totalitarianism, the horrific drama of World War II, and the feverish composition of his masterpieces "Animal Farm" and "1984". Which together have sold more than any two books by any other twentieth-century author. Personal entries cover the tragic death of his first wife and Orwell’s own decline as he battled tuberculosis. Exhibiting great brilliance of prose and composition, these treasured dispatches, edited by the world’s leading Orwell scholar Peter Davison, exhibit "the seeds of famous passages to come" - New Statesman - and amount to a volume as penetrating as the autobiography he never penned. Printed in the United States of America. 597 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.…
